Craft Idea

The folding paper butterfly craft is a classic preschool craft that kids always seem to love doing. Print and cut out our butterfly template, fold it in half and have your child paint a design - the goopier the better! Then just fold the unpainted side over the painted side and press together to create a perfectly symmetrical butterfly. This a great butterfly craft for kids and is also a great spring craft for kids.

Daisy Plant Poke

Spring and Easter Crafts for Kids - Felt Daisy Plant Poke
This is a fun rainy day project for kids. They can brighten up all of the green plants in your home or they can make this project as a mother’s day gift as well. Because the felt is so stiff, it is also easy for smaller hands to cut out.

Tip:
If using tacky glue, it will take longer for the glued parts to dry. Using a hot glue gun is faster when working on this project but parental supervision is advised when children are using a hot glue gun.
